Mr Vinay Nair, 25, Research Analyst

Mr Vinay Nair, 25, Research Analyst Vinay starts his day with overview of previous
day's events, covering both macro-economic and sector and corporate specific developments.
Events may be at domestic or international level, like the energy prices at NYME!

Plan for the day may include covering corporate events and announcements relating
to specific sectors covered by Vinay. Interviews with senior management could be
planned, either over phone or in person, depending on whether it is a regular update
on the company, or any specific events have triggered an analyst review of the corporate.

Then there are meetings organized with institutional dealers, and also with institutional
clients, to understand the latest research view and analysts rationale behind the
same.

If events and analysis during the day lead to an update, then Vinay will have to
prepare update summary and ensure it gets published to intended audience (either
select clientele, and/or media) before end of the day!

And yes, then there are specific occasions to prepare quick analytical reports based
on client requirements and also requests from dealers and senior management (Equities
and Investment Banking teams).

The day is indeed hectic, but supremely challenging and spiced with great networking
and knowledge management at the same time. Welcome to the world of research!

Mayank Patwardhan, 28, Dealer (Institutional Equities)

Mayank starts the day with quick review of all the papers and media cuttings for
the previous day, both domestic and international coverage. Networking with peers
in market is also part of the "morning cup of tea" ritual!

Mayank then attends a dealer meeting, where the House views are shared, and all
dealers share their own views and news in order to gauge the market impact and movements
for the day, and plan the day's strategy well in advance.

The market hours see the frenzy of trading, handling customer calls, checking market
prices, understanding the market sentiment and trend!

Evenings are again spent in post market analysis internally. Mayank also calls up
customers and discusses the day's trading, specific customer positions and strategies
executed during the day. There are in-person meetings also with large customers
where inputs based on in-house research and house views are discussed in detail.

The day ends with more news and data pouring in from Europe and US markets, and
thus more planning, for the next day!

At KSL we may have opening available in almost all areas of financial services business,
ranging from product structuring, trading, research, sales and marketing, service
standards, systems and technology management, risk management, legal, compliance
and market operations. We would like to keep your profile in our records for future
suitable openings.
